Does the S2K have seat height adjustment?

I'm pretty sure the car was designed to optimally fit the average Japanese man...which is probably about 5'6"...which is my height. I think the S is a perfect fit for me. Snug but roomy. Good field of view. I think you're sitting in it wrong. Have a gangsta lean?
Oh, and I don't pass the broomstick test (with a helmet).

By Miata I was referring to the fact that if a simple thing like seat height is a determining factor, you either havent fell in love with the S yet, or its not the right car for you (aka buy now, test drive later). nothing gay was I referring to.

I'm about 5' 4" and I have no problems.
I can see being short being a problem in the S, but being too tall...well it's not like you're going to run out of headroom.
Edit: Also, keep in mind the S2k probably won't be like most cars that have height adjustments.
You're supposed to sit low in the car, almost like you're laying down (closest analogy I can think of)
I have my seat pretty low and far back in my Yaris and after I got back in it after driving an S, I felt like I was sitting straight up in a way high up car, and a Yaris isn't that high up.

dang, you guys should have ate your vegetables
I was at the dealership while my brother purchased a new accord and they had a CR out front (paragon honda) and I felt comfortable with the seating position but I guess I'm used to sitting up higher... bleh lets see how this thing works out!
If anything I'll get something to increase the height on the chairs... some spacers perhaps?
